Daniel Ettinger
​Host, The Animal Control Report Podcast

​Daniel Ettinger got his start in animal welfare as a volunteer at a wolf sanctuary. Though, the call of the wild for him was to help protect people from animals, and animals from people. He is currently the Animal Control Supervisor for Summit County, CO Sheriff’s Office. Daniel has several years of experience investigating crimes against animals and maintaining a safe community. He has worked countless bite investigations, cruelty/neglect cases and is an expert witness. Daniel is the host of the Animal Control Report, a podcast dedicated to animal control officers and other animal welfare professionals. He is an adjunct instructor for the University of Missouri, Law Enforcement Training Institute. He has developed and presented several trainings for the university. Daniel is also an internationally recognized public speaker and a valued member of the animal welfare community. He has given lectures at several animal welfare conferences throughout the United States. His innovative topics challenge the dog catcher and dog pound stereotype to help provide alternative and proactive ways to operate.
